On Saturday night, Paxton got to relax after the competition at dinner with Kaleb, Dylan, Joe, and Kody Geiger, including a surprise visit at the restaurant from Zig Short, who sat down for a while to enjoy the company. After dinner, they headed over to the Liberty Park Skate Park for a night session with some of the pros, including Kody, Alex Dorantes, Cooper Klaar, Heston and Fuzzy Gross, Kingsley Okocha. Even Phoenix Pro Scooters' own Tom Floyd showed up to watch the jam in the chilly night air under the lights!
